Pete Buttigieg released 10 years of tax returns that show the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is among the lowest earning Democrats in the 2020 field
Buttigieg -- whose taxes show he has the lowest incomes of all the Democratic presidential candidates who have released their taxes so far -- is the latest Democratic candidate to release their returns. The release is in line with what past presidential candidates have done and is a direct rebuke of President Donald Trump, who has kept his own finances out of view.
The South Bend mayor, after months of"exploring" a 2020 run, officially announced a bid earlier this month with a rally in his hometown.Buttigieg, who began his time as mayor in 2012, earned adjusted gross incomes of $121,952 in 2015 and $110,039 in 2016.Due to his public service and military deployment, Buttigieg has had years in which his income was closer than any other Democratic candidate's to the median US income. In 2017, that was $61,372, per the Census Bureau.
